    “There’s 36% chance of rain. 65 m square boundaries, 75 m straight boundaries. This is the same wicket that was used for England – Pakistan match. Spinners have had a good time bowling here. Spin will win, reckons Hayden. Going to be tough to score runs as the spinners will get more assistance in the second innings. Captain winning the toss should bat first despite the overcast conditions,” reckons Pommie Mbangwa.
